5'0", and 40-20-36.

Have to say I'd probably still hit it. Those are my kind of numbers.

I'm sad to say I preferred the White Stripes version.

But how old is muppet Polly Darton?

The Crossroads version with Melissa Etheridge is surprisingly good.

Found it HERE

What a fantastic song. Jolene sounds like someone I know. ;)

She's classy all day long. And the Crossroads thing with Etheridge was awesome.

Pish! Sisters of Mercy's version pwns.

Mindy Smith's version...cute as a button country singer, delicate voice, cameo of Ms. Parton...enjoy! Link (new window)

One of my favorite songs. Usually I am in agreement with everyone on their alternate choices of better covers, today I'm going WTF?

This version of the song doesn't do justice to Dolly Parton's vocals, which is what made the song great, IMHO. She raised the bar so high on the song that the other excellent versions, by Melissa Etheridge and Olivia Newton-John, sort of pale in comparison. As for the White Stripes version, damn them suckers are wealthy enough to hire a decent singer, why do they have that skreechy wino up there croaking it out? Absolutely pitiful.

I always wanted to see what Linda Ronstadt, whose voice is on a comparable level with Dolly Parton's, would have done with the song.

Another version by Dolly, more vocals, less instrumentals.

much better version

Yuk. There's no soul in that one.

I hope there's a version out there where she actually hits the high note at the end and doesn't go out of tune.....
that's why she stops it so quick and says "thank you!" she knew she was sucking.....
like the song though....

God, I love that song. You just really feel her pain.

My favorite quote by her is "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."

Me First and the Gimme Gimme's version rocks, but I can't find a good video.

Happy birthday, Dolly. She's pure class, and this song is gorgeous.

She's got great talents

Loved her the time on Letterman when she did "Dolly Parton's Top Ten Pet Peeves." Favorite was, "Nobody ever notices I've got a great ass, too."

This is useless without pics.

she is an awesomely talented lady
jolene is a terrific song

especially in context of the time, etc

strong voice, good writing ability

I'm not a huge Dolly fan, but I have that on my iPod. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. It's just amazing.
